Client: Hodder & Stoughton

Our most recent projects are shown first

Chinese With Mike

We took over the existing design and reworked it to use the WordPress Content Management System (CMS), as well as implementing a series of content updates.

Hodderscape

Updating the Hodderscape blog to use a new version of the brand, with a new-look mascot (Pickwick the dodo).

This was an update to a previous iteration of the site, which we created several years before, with the same underlying architecture.

“When a project comes along I can work with Bookswarm on I immediately feel more relaxed. Communication on projects from start to finish is outstanding (and so important) which helps to move things along at a good pace and get the results we all want. Simon is always on hand for questions and advice throughout the project, and is incredibly tolerant of the unrelenting change requests and tweaks from our many stakeholders.”

The Future Bookshelf

A home on the web for Hodder & Stoughton’s range of books for writers – including a fully content-managed home page feature the client can update each month.

Chambers

We updated the design of the existing Chambers website and migrated the underlying technology to WordPress for ease of management, whilst retaining the key features of the existing site: the dictionary search and Word Wizard.

H for History

H for History is the historical fiction and non-fiction community from Hodder & Stoughton, Headline and Quercus. Bookswarm designed and built this responsive website to allow both books and blog posts to be explored using a range of classifications, including Period and Genre.
